A Free, Yahtzee-Style 3D Dice Game That Runs in Your Browser

Foony Yacht delivers the back-and-forth feel of a Yahtzee-style night without the box, the score pad, or the install. Every turn drops five physics-driven dice into a virtual cup, lets you tap-and-hold the ones you want to keep, and rerolls the rest up to two more times before you pick a category. The thirteen-row scorecard sits next to the table with live previews showing exactly how many points each open box would give you for the dice you're holding right now.

Because the dice are real WebGL 3D models, they tumble, settle, and read clearly on desktop, tablet, or phone. There's nothing to download, no premium paywall on the rules, and no required sign-up. Load the page, roll, and start chasing the 35-point upper bonus, the 50-point Yacht, and the 100-point bonus that drops on every Yacht after your first.

Multiplayer Yacht with Friends or Bots, at Your Pace

Yacht rooms scale from a solo session against a single bot all the way up to 8-player free-for-alls in matchmaking, with hosts able to push the cap higher in custom rooms. To play with a friend, just send them the room URL and they'll join in their browser. A configurable turn timer keeps things moving when someone steps out for a snack.

Playing solo? Spin up bots at four difficulty tiers (Easy, Medium, Hard, and Expert) to learn the scorecard, drill the upper-section math, or warm up between matches. The Hard and Expert bots respect the upper bonus and play around it the way a sharp human opponent would, so they're a real sparring tool rather than a pushover. Cosmetic dice you unlock through play swap into every match without changing the rules, so a free account is always on equal footing with everyone else at the table.

Leaderboards, Achievements, and Cosmetic Dice

Every Yacht match counts toward Foony's public Yacht leaderboards, filtered by day, week, month, year, or all-time. If you want a single number that captures whether your dice game is actually improving, that's the place to watch.

There are 14 Yacht achievements tracking the milestones worth bragging about: rolling your first five-of-a-kind ("I'm on a Yacht!"), clearing the 35-point upper bonus ("Bonus Hunter"), breaking 300 points in a single game ("300"), winning a game without a single zeroed category ("Flawless Victory"), and a handful of trickier ones for completionists. Each achievement pays out account currency that feeds back into the rest of Foony.

The cosmetic Yacht dice skin catalog runs from cheap color sets (Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Purple, Orange, Black) up through themed sets like Pirate, Galaxy, Kraken, Marble, Lava, Sakura, Vintage, and Neon, priced in coins or gems depending on rarity. Skins are pure decoration — equipping the flashiest set never changes your odds at the scorecard.

How to Play Yacht

Yacht is played with five six-sided dice, the same five-dice format as a Yahtzee-style game. On your turn, you roll all five, choose any you want to lock in, and reroll the rest up to two more times: three rolls per turn in total. After your final roll (or earlier if you're happy), you assign the dice to exactly one of the thirteen scoring categories on the scorecard. Each category can only be used once per game, so the strategy is as much about where to place a roll as it is about hoping for great dice.

If your dice don't fit a category well, you can still place them there for zero points. That sometimes makes sense: parking a bad roll in a row you're unlikely to hit again (like Yacht or Large Straight) frees better rolls for higher-value boxes later.

The Yacht Scorecard & Scoring Categories

Yacht's digital scorecard works like a Yahtzee-style score sheet without the printout. The thirteen categories split into an upper section and a lower section, and the running total, upper subtotal, and 35-point bonus all update live as you commit each row, so you can plan the next turn before you even pick up the dice.

Upper Section

The upper section has one row per face value:

  • Ones: Sum of all dice showing 1
  • Twos: Sum of all dice showing 2
  • Threes: Sum of all dice showing 3
  • Fours: Sum of all dice showing 4
  • Fives: Sum of all dice showing 5
  • Sixes: Sum of all dice showing 6

Hit 63 or more across the upper section and you earn a 35-point bonus. Treat that target like a soft contract with yourself: averaging three of each face gets you there.

Lower Section

The lower section is seven combination rows:

  • Three of a Kind: Three or more matching dice. Scores the sum of all five dice.
  • Four of a Kind: Four or more matching dice. Scores the sum of all five dice.
  • Full House: Three of one number plus two of another. Scores 25 points.
  • Small Straight: Any four-in-a-row (1-2-3-4, 2-3-4-5, or 3-4-5-6). Scores 30 points.
  • Large Straight: Any five-in-a-row (1-2-3-4-5 or 2-3-4-5-6). Scores 40 points.
  • Yacht: All five dice the same. Scores 50 points, and a second Yacht in the same game scores a 100-point bonus.
  • Chance: Sum of all five dice, no requirements. Your safety net for an awkward roll.

Strategy Tips

Treat the 35-point upper bonus as table stakes. Most strong games hit 63 in the upper section. Plan early-turn rerolls around banking decent fours, fives, and sixes rather than fishing for a single Large Straight.

Save Chance for late. Chance ignores all requirements and pays the dice sum, so it's worth the most when you're stuck with a high but messy roll in the final rounds.

Plant zeros in the categories you can't reach. A confirmed zero in Yacht or Large Straight is often better than torching a good roll on a low-value upper row. Use the live category previews to compare your options before you commit.

Watch the second Yacht. Once you've banked the first Yacht, every additional five-of-a-kind is worth a 100-point bonus. If your dice trend toward matching faces, lean into the Sixes row to set up the chase.

Use bots to drill specific situations. Hard and Expert bots respect the upper bonus and avoid giving away free zeros, which makes them a useful sparring partner before a friends-only lobby.

Game Variations & Settings

Some house variants let Full House score the dice sum instead of a flat 25. Foony's default uses the flat 25 to match the most common online ruleset, with consistent settings across every player in the room so multiplayer scores stay comparable.

Hosts can adjust a handful of per-room settings without touching the scoring rules. The turn timer ranges from 5 seconds (a snappy round) up to 2 minutes (a relaxed one); the player cap can be raised from a 2-player duel to larger free-for-alls; and a minimum account level or guest-account block keeps lobbies friendlier when you want them.

Winning the Game

After everyone fills all thirteen categories, totals add up: upper section + 35-point bonus (if earned) + lower section. Highest total wins. Strong games typically land between 200 and 300 points; anything above 300 usually means a Yacht or two and a healthy upper bonus working together.

Yacht: Frequently Asked Questions

How do I play Yacht online with friends?
Open a Yacht room on Foony Yacht, copy the invite link, and share it with anyone you want at the table. They can join from any modern browser without an install. Players take turns rolling, holding, and assigning dice to one of the 13 scoring rows; the room handles turn order, the timer, and the scorecard for you.
How is Yacht different from Yahtzee?
Yacht is the older, public-domain five-dice game that Yahtzee® was later inspired by. Both use three rolls per turn and a thirteen-row scorecard, but the exact category list and bonuses vary between rule sets. Foony Yacht runs a clean modern variant with the 50-point Yacht, a 35-point upper-section bonus at 63, and a 100-point bonus on every Yacht you roll after the first.
Is Yacht on Foony free?
Yes. The full ruleset, multiplayer rooms, and bot opponents on Foony Yacht are free in your browser. Optional cosmetic dice unlock through normal play and never change scoring, so a free account is on the same competitive footing as anyone else at the table.
How many rolls do I get each turn in Yacht?
Three rolls per turn, the same cadence as a Yahtzee-style game. After roll one, tap any dice you want to hold; the rest reroll. After roll two you can lock or release dice again. After your third roll (or earlier, whenever you stop) you assign the dice to exactly one open category on the scorecard. Foony Yacht previews how many points each open row would earn before you commit.
How many dice does Yacht use?
Yacht is played with five six-sided dice, the same five-dice format as Yahtzee. Foony Yacht renders them as physics-driven WebGL 3D models that tumble in real time, so you can read every face clearly on desktop, tablet, or phone without any download.
How many people can play Yacht?
Yacht scales from solo play against AI bots all the way up to 8-player free-for-alls in matchmaking, and hosts can push the room cap even higher in custom rooms on Foony Yacht. Each player keeps their own scorecard while everyone shares the same dice cup turn by turn, and bots at four difficulty tiers can be added to fill any open seats. At high player counts, turns are done asynchronously so you don't have to wait forever.
What is a "Yacht" and how much is it worth?
A Yacht is five-of-a-kind in a single turn (for example, five 4s). Placing it in the Yacht row scores a flat 50 points, the same jackpot value as a Yahtzee in the classic game. On Foony Yacht, every additional Yacht you roll later in the same game adds a 100-point bonus on top of wherever you place those dice, which can swing a close match in one turn.
What is a full house in Yacht?
A full house in Yacht is three of one face plus two of another (for example, three 2s and two 5s), the same combination as a full house in Yahtzee. On Foony Yacht it scores a flat 25 points, matching the most common online ruleset and keeping multiplayer scores comparable across every player in the room.
What is the Chance category in Yacht?
Chance is the catch-all row on the Yacht scorecard: assign your dice to it and you score the simple sum of all five faces, with no combination requirements at all. It works the same way as the Chance row in a Yahtzee-style score sheet, so most players on Foony Yacht save it for late-game turns when their dice don't fit any other open category. A decent five-dice roll usually banks 20-30 easy points there.
Is there a built-in Yacht scorecard online?
Yes. Foony Yacht renders a digital Yacht scorecard right next to the table, with live previews of how many points each open category would award for the dice you are holding. You don't need a printed Yahtzee-style score sheet, because the upper-section subtotal, the 35-point bonus at 63, and your running total all update automatically as you commit each row.
Does Yacht have leaderboards, achievements, and unlocks?
Yes, all three. Every match counts toward the day, week, month, year, and all-time leaderboards on Foony Yacht, so you can chase a personal best or push for a global rank. There are 14 in-game achievements covering milestones like rolling your first Yacht, earning the 35-point upper bonus, breaking 300 points in a single game, and winning without a single zeroed category. Coins and gems you earn along the way unlock cosmetic dice skins, from cheap color sets to themed packs (Pirate, Galaxy, Kraken, Marble, Lava, Sakura, and more). Skins are purely visual; equipping the flashiest set in the shop never changes the odds at the table.
What is the highest possible score in Yacht?
The theoretical maximum on Foony Yacht is 1,575 points (the same ceiling as classic Yahtzee), assuming you roll a Yacht every single turn and place each one optimally to stack the joker bonuses: 50 in the Yacht row, every upper row maxed for the 35-point bonus, and +100 on each repeat Yacht placed in a lower row. In practice, strong online games typically land between 200 and 350 points; anything above 400 usually means multiple five-of-a-kind rolls plus a clean upper-section bonus.
Do I need to download anything to play Yacht?
No download, no app store, no install. Foony Yacht runs in any modern browser (Chromium-based browsers, Firefox, and Safari on desktop, tablet, and phone), and the WebGL dice load in seconds, even on school or work networks where downloads are blocked.
